AFC Asian Cup 2023 (Qatar Champions)

[FreoRicci]

Long balls to Souttar. This is what Australia has regressed to

 

[Mr Meow]

Move Ryan up front for the last 10 maybe?

 

[Topkent]

Then take a risk. Back the youngsters. Play attacking football.
Instead it’s results and hoping to score.
A lot of it is the development of the game. I was super pissed that Ange was pushed out for the 2018 WC cycle.

Ange is right. You can qualify, make R16 but Australia will never back football like every other country.

This 1000%
We aren't ever winning a world cup, atleast no time soon anyway. Scraping to WCs and maybe scraping it out of a group does nothing for the game. You gotta bring the public along.

Anges Australian team was easily the best we've ever had to watch and it was also successful with the Asian Cup.

 

[jhong]

I would have sent Irvine forward but Souttar?

This style was Cruyff's first draft.

 

[largebus]

Football Australia will find a way to call this a success, no doubt.

"Record streaming minutes for a game past midnight on Paramount+!!"

 

[Zidane98]

Wtf ref

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

That was a joke of a decision from that ref...

 

[Topkent]

Haha yep. We have literally no idea how to actually attack so we have actually regressed to league 2 football

 

[Zidane98]

That and the Souttar yellow. Farcical.

 

[omgfridge]

Think Yengi would of been better than Fornaroli. He can't press and got no pace in this situation to threaten.

 

[largebus]

Ah well, carn everyone but South Korea. Good to see them tiring out Son on 2 days rest with a semi final on Tuesday. Spursy management of a Spurs player.

 

[FreoRicci]

Arnold has been at two Asian Cups and barely makes it out of the quarter finals.
What happens in between?
2011 makes the final
2015 win the tournament with a new cycle of players.

2019 and now 2023. Miles of his depth

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

Can criticism him but we were one moronic tackle away from a semi against Jordan. Should’ve scored a second before that

 

[gaskin]

No shots so far in ET. 13-3 it was at the end of normal time and now it is 13-11.

 

[RossFC]

Ryan and Souttar don’t deserve this

Gonna be 3x he's been knocked out in the quarters.

We lost 3-1 to Iraq in 2007 under his watch lol

We're going nowhere with him but on paper it will show an Asian Cup QF and WC R16 and that will be deemed a win....

Nah mate. It’s the changes hoping for a 1-0 win. Goodwin, Baccus, Boyle off.

Can say that, but also say we were one bad penalty away from missing the entire world cup and he doesn't have a job still. It's just pure and utter dice rolling and this time we lost

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

Arnold needs to go. Surely no more second chances to redeem himself.

Back to back Asian Cup QFs and a round of 16.

 

[Zidane98]

Good we get Bruno back. **** Arnold.

 

[FreoRicci]

Back to back Asian Cup QFs and a round of 16.

QFs is the bare minimum. Last 8 of Asia.
There’s Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Australia and Iran.

Meh. Has been a crap tournament really. Midfield all over the place

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

F*** off Arnold. F*** off Miller.
